TI  - Personality disorders in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder in Japan.
PG  - 128-34
AB  - A total of 75 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were studied in 
      order to investigate the characteristics of OCD symptoms and the comorbidity of 
      personality disorders (PD). Contamination obsessions and checking compulsions 
      were most commonly found in patients, of whom 53% met the criteria for at least 
      one PD. Among comorbid PD, the anxious-fearful (cluster C) PDs, such as avoidant, 
      obsessive-compulsive and dependent PD, were most prevalent, followed by the 
      odd-eccentric (cluster A) PDs, such as paranoid and schizotypal PD. The patients 
      with PD had more severe social maladaptation and concurrent depressive and 
      anxious symptoms than the patients without any PD, despite the similar severity 
      of OCD symptoms. These results are consistent with those reported in the Western 
      world, and are considered to be relatively stable cross-culturally.
